Anime Relations: Kanon (2006)
This is the Hundred-and-fifth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

Last week's anniversary blog was a very good success. I thank everyone who helped make it happen.

It is now December. That means that it is cold (I live in the northern hemisphere, ya see), and thus I should do warm-weather based animes.

I should.... But I'm not going to.

This December I will be celebrating a certain anime that takes place in a very snowy city. A harem anime Topaz saw earlier this year. This December is...

KANON DECEMBER


Every blog this month will cover one of the harem-ettes in the Key production Kanon (sorry Akiko). I'm also going in the (personally perceived) order of the arcs.

Today's girl is:


Makoto Sawatari
from
Kanon


Head
Hair: Makoto has long orange/brown hair. It's usually held in sidetails with a very cute red ribbon. It looks great, though it's a bit too orange for my tastes. Still, the length is great. As for the twintails? They're not my favorite hairstyle, but they fit the character so well. I can't imagine her without them. If I'd watch Eva, I would compare them to Asuka's, but alas I shouldn't make that point without further evidence.

Also: Piro.
Grade: B+

Eyes: I love Key eyes. There's just something about them, they always look great. On to specifics though. Makoto's are quite blue, and extremely cute. Especially when she's pouting. Auuu~
Grade: B

Face: Again, I've said plenty on Key product-based faces. But Makoto does have at least one unique feature here. She has some of the cutest fangs I've ever seen.
Grade: A

Body
Build: Makoto is fairly average as far as anime characters go. On the other hand, that means that she's not bad either. Her measurements are 81-55-79, and she's 159 cm and weighs 46kg, so she's pretty average that way too. There's also the fact that she may be actually a fox, but that gets confusing.
Grade: B-

Breasts: She does have a very good sized rack, looks wise. Measurement wise, not as much (she looks like she has more than she has, I mean), but still 81 is a good size.
Grade: A-

Clothes: She does have a very cute outfit (Jacket & sweatshirt, winter clothes, etc), but unfortunately does not have a school uniform. She also doesn't wear anything particularly fetishy either..
Grade: B

Mind
Personality: Makoto is an interesting character, as like Taiga a few weeks ago, she is a tsundere that I can accept. She is introduced by attempting to attack Yuuichi (the male lead) for something he did. That neither of them remember. Of course, Makoto herself, for whatever reason, doesn't know anything except her rage for Yuuichi. So she follows him home as he's the only thing she remembers. Overall, Makoto is a very energetic girl, but it's done in a less than serious way that makes me like her. After a while, she also becomes fairly clumsy, but that goes into plot (see further down).

After a while, and numerous failed attempts at attacking, they gain a good relationship. I should probably explain the failed attempts. They're great to watch, and Yuuichi always gets the upper hand eventually. But it's funny to hear Makoto giggle thinking she'll win as well. These attempts are one of the reasons I like the character so much. She's so mischievous. I would compare it to one of those old time villians. Makoto sets up a plan, but is defeated. Afterwards, she twirls her mustache, spins her cape around, says something to the effect of "curses! foiled again!", and escapes. Especially if it's really grainy black and white film and the curses line was on a separate card. And she'd probably go "Auuu~" instead of the curses line, as that's what usually happens anyway. He does eventually grow on her, though.

She also lacks common sense, which is also amusing to watch. She doesn't know what exactly money is, but enjoys eating (especially meat buns). She also sort of adopts a cat, which she is tricked into calling Piro (which references her love of meat buns). She's very loving of Piro, even if she nearly threw him into traffic.

We do start to get the background behind Makoto, though not through her. She was a fox who Yuuichi rescued when he was younger. After some time, Yuuichi brought Makoto back to the place he found her and left her there, causing Makoto to harbor a strong dislike for him. By giving up her memories and part of her life, she was able to assume a human form and meet Yuuichi. However, it was not permanent, and eventually she started to lose the ability to use her thumbs, walk, and even speak. It gets to the point where she can only sadly utter "Auuu~". At the end of her arc, however, Topaz nearly shed tears. Even thinking of it makes him start to hold back...
Grade: A-

Libido:


She really isn't into the whole "sex" thing that I remember. However, she does like romance manga, and spends time reading them. Her final wish was to get married, as well. So it's not like she doesn't want to fall in love or anything.

Also, assume that this month I am not taking Kanon as an H-game. It is a Anime first and foremost in my mind.
Grade: B-

Age: Her age is mostly unknown. Sure, she looks like a teen, but she's also sort of an illusion fox, or something to that effect...
Grade: C

Total Grades: 75
Average score: 8.3
Final Grade: B

I miss Makoto. I like to watch Kanon again for the nth time.

Auu~
